I guess.

( see: no, it doesn't make him feel better, hardly at all. sense doesn't always make a difference to arisu, who found the games to be entirely without reason.

he snorts a laugh at chishiya's read on their fake relationship, which is ... well, not inaccurate. but it seems like how a learning robot would read into a marriage, that you get better through practice, through gathering data. )

Well, yes, but ... I mean, newlyweds are supposed to be in love. Really in love, sometimes. ( before his mom died, he had an image of what a happy couple looked like. sort of. should he emulate that? ) A married couple has the whole dating experience to teach them. We didn't have that.

( obviously. stopping in his tracks, arisu steadies himself, before extending a hand in chishiya's direction palm up. even just offering to hold hands makes him blush in embarrassment, eyes staring at his hand and not chishiya. )

We have to get comfortable with each other.

( uncomfortable people don't sleep in bed together, he thinks. and then promptly doesn't think at all. )
